... halogen-free UL94 V0 polypropylene compound with a very good Shore hardness. A. Schulman GmbH presented different flame-retarded compounds for polypropylene, polyamide, polybutylene terephthalate and (PC+ABS). The special feature of Schulamid NV 12FR – a polyamide 6 without halogen or red phosphorous – is that it attains a UL94 V0 rating, a GWFI of 960°C and a GWIT of 750°C in a thickness of 0.4 to 3.0mm. Polyflam RIPP 490 is a halogen-free polypropylene which, in a thickness of 1.5mm, attains ...

...s in the 1.0 to 1.8mm size range. The advantages of these are dust-free processing and an optimal dispersion in the polymer melt. A. Schulman, Kerpen, Germany, presented flame retardant compounds for the automobile industry. Schulamid 66 GBF3020 FR4, a flame retarded polyamide 66, is UL94 V0 listed and is used for the manufacture of control unit casings for electrical systems. The polyamide housings have complex geometries and a tendency to warp. A specially balanced mix of glass spheres and gla...

... choice of injection molding parameters. In addition to the general process parameters, material selection represented one further important factor. The rigid carrier for the louvers is molded from glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6; grade: Schulamid GF 30 H, supplier: A. Schulman GmbH), the flexible lips from the thermoplastic elastomer (TPS) (grade: Thermolast TC6PAZ-C200, supplier: Kraiburg TPE GmbH). The housing is molded from glass fiber reinforced polypropylene (grade: Polyfort PP GF ...

...many, took 1st place for the component in the ''''Automotive body exterior category at the Automotive Awards presented by the Society of Plastic Engineers (SPE). The grille is manufactured from a silver-metallic, high-impact polyamide (Schulamid 66 MT5 HI LS). This material permits production of a visually appealing, high-quality radiator grille in only one step; painting is eliminated. Production costs are reduced and the utilitarian value increased. Flow and weld lines present a challenge wh...
